Clinton campaigned in South Dakota Thursday.
Clinton campaigned in South Dakota Thursday.

WATERTOWN, South Dakota (CNN) – Long bus rides along rolling fields, small town stops, intimate crowds and diner pie typically symbolize the run up to the Iowa caucuses and the start of the presidential nominating season. But Hillary Clinton's two-day swing through South Dakota, a state that ends the primary process Tuesday, had all those trappings and neither the candidate nor her supporters were acting as though this race was nearing an end.

"A lot of people didn't want this campaign to keep going. They've been trying to tell me to stop running since January — and every time they say it, people rebuke it and keep voting for me. That's what I hope will happen here in South Dakota," she told a cheering crowd of several hundred in Huron.

As she stood in front of an enormous American flag, Clinton wound through her stump speech promising fiscal responsibility, universal health care, better and more jobs, ending the war in Iraq — all the issues candidates touch as they claw for every vote. She promised that between now and Tuesday there would not be a day without a Clinton in some corner of this state. As voters left they were given small Xeroxed fliers advertising a Bill Clinton event Friday in Mitchell.

Earlier Thursday die-hard Clinton supporters and some undecided Democrats waited patiently inside the smallish Second Street Diner in Madison hoping for a glimpse of and a picture with the presidential candidate. Upon arrival Clinton gripped and grinned with the all white, mostly middle-aged female crowd stopping at each booth and table to chat about issues or her Wednesday trip to Mt. Rushmore – "it's an honor, Madame President!" one woman shrieked as Clinton bounced through the door.

Clinton sat with a group of all female campaign volunteers sipped her tea and nibbled her pie before she took the microphone for a semi-impromptu speech and question and answer session with the diner crowd.

Jolene Johnson, a Madison resident and undecided voter, said Clinton's situation did not look "favorable" but said the "tenacity of staying in is typical of a woman … she is not a quitter." She came to the diner to hear Clinton's pitch, and brought her granddaughter along to show her that a woman could run for president.

"I'd like to see her win," said retiree Wayne Grad. "Obama is a good candidate, but he lacks the experience. He's too much of a rock star." Grad said he thought calls for Clinton to exit the race were premature. When asked whether he thought Clinton would be his party's nominee he said, "I'd like to believe she is."

Clinton logged hours on the road to touch South Dakota's urban and rural communities from Rapid City in the west to Watertown in the east. She heads to Puerto Rico Friday for a three-day swing and a presumed victory in the island's Sunday primary, further adding to her popular vote total and her argument that she still has a chance at the nomination.

The campaign is mum about where she heads after Sunday and what her schedule holds for next week. The mid-size traveling press corps received an email to sign up for future travel, prompting questions about where the bus was headed next? A campaign spokesman replied "there are a lot of places to go to between June 3 and November."

Has there ever been a picture of Hillary taken where she's not smiling with her mouth wide open? I hate when people do that… it looks like she's auditioning for a role as "The Joker" in the next Batman film or something. Which might not be a bad idea, considering that her audition for a role as "president" isn't going to go through… and thank god for that, because we'd definitely lose in November if she were our nominee.

Hillary. you are liying to your supporters and have been for a long time!

Hey RJ from CA.. that is surrounding your self w/ highly ethical smart people. Something that Clinton failed to do LOL.

ANGIE   May 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

i cant belive you woman have not woken up to what this woman is about so you support a woman who helped send our troops to iraq you support a woman who stood by her husband when he was cheating on her with monica and who ever else you support a woman who goes back on her word saying she agrees mi and fl should not be seated now wants them seated you support a woman thats has been dividing this party and throwing mccain in the white house cmon ladies i am a woman but a very smart woman wake up and see what hillary is all about she is not setting a very good honest example for us woman i would love nothing more than to see a woman for once run this country but not her not hillary

Puerto Rican in Swing State   May 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

I am worried and saddened by the way Obama supporters have downplayed and humiliated the efforts made by the Clintons regarding the Puerto Rico primary. While residents of the island are not allowed to vote in the "general," there is a very well structured Democratic Party within the island. Obama himself has gone down there to collect money. After all, this is a DEMOCRATIC primary, right? So, why is it so appalling to the Obama supporters about the fact that Puerto Ricans would have a say in the matter? They sure didn't object when the Guam primary was taking place! And I don't see Obama returning contributions from Puerto Rican donors anytime soon! Moreover, Puerto Ricans living in the mainland (like myself) ARE allowed to vote in the "general." That makes about 3.5 million votes. That includes about 800,000 in certain swing state named FLORIDA. Other important communities are located in key states such as Ohio (Lorain County/Cleveland) and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Lancaster, York). I thought the Obama supporters could eventually bring all components of the Democratic Party on board. The disrespect towards Puerto Rican voters tells me otherwise…

N Kannan   May 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

She wants to do a Lyndon Johnson Impression! Especially, after Dallas….

Nateru   May 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

I feel badly that so many people are being mislead by Hillary. I cannot imagine how she can have a clear conscious about what mean-spirited things she has done, and the tactics she used along the way….not someone I would want as a neighbor, friend, let alone the president.

Richard   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Is it just me or is there a real trend developing for Obama? This hate filled and divisive rehorics on country and race theme is creeping up all over the place for Obama….Wright, Ayers, Pheifer……is it just a coincident that Obama surrounds himself with these characters for about a century and do not share these views? If these views are so opposing to his core beliefs and principles then why tolerate them for so long? It is very perplexing and disburbing at the same time….but the media insists on ignoring it.

truthurts   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

It's over girl…

Seminole3232 - Atlanta   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Huh? Madame President? What? Do these poeple actually read and research for themselves? Hillary cannot win, no matter what happens with the INVALID election results from FL or MI. Sorry Hildog, not your time, not your place. Try again in 8 years.

Mike from Westchester   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Can we just chip in and pay someone to great her every morning for the rest of her life with, "Good Morning, Madame President".

I will tell you that I just want to scream when I hear people say that she is winning the popular vote. IT'S A LIE!!!!!

It's a LIE when Hillary says it.
It's a LIE when her surrogates say it.
It's a LIE when her other supporters say it.
It's a LIE when bloggers blog it.

And this propensity to lie is one of the things I find most distasteful about the Clinton campaign, whether it's exaggerating the gas tax savings up to $70 (real number $28 at best), sniper fire and other stories, or bizarre metrics to make the race appear close, when it's been pretty much over for 2 1/2 months.

By the way, what happened to her gas tax idea that was SO, SO important to her? Guess when it was no longer a good campaign ploy to get votes in PA, WV, and KY, it when right out the window.

Also, Carville has been conspicuously absent recently. Did he quietly sneak off the sinking SS Hillary?

CJ   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Hillary is not president yet. Even though there is a good chance that it could be handed to her by the DNC this weekend. She has played it well with poor pick on Hillary and the sexism. She is not as strong as she pretends to be – and is all for herself!

Jan from Illinois   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Hillary cries that she's losing because of sexism- what a joke! Just exactly who is it doing most of the squawking- white women who vote for her because she is just that- a white woman? When, before now ,has Hillary ever had to compete with men on a level playing field?
Please could she set a good example for the rest of us women and admit that she was beaten by a candidate who simply ran a better race?

Chi4Obama   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

This primary will be over by next Wednesday, so why is this even news.

I hope this lady can wait at least until 2016, to call her Madame President.

Joe - Wilmington, DE   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Keep driving in that wedge Hillary. I hope historians paint a very dark picture of you.

Peased OFF   May 30th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Amazing. Hillary Enough.

We all have had enough. Lets be done with this and move forward to the General Election.

By the way.. your not more electable

begging poor folks for money
In the hole financially
Unstable staff

You expect us to vote for you to run the country.

Please…

donna   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Hillary is an embarrasment to all women…it's one thing to be "tough" but it's quite another to be a NAGGING PAIN IN THE —!!!

To all the OBAMA HATERS…YAWN!!!

How dare he have the AUDACITY to inspire MILLIONS of people who wouldn't have cared about this race had he not been in it!!! Everyone keeps harping on his "inexperience" but fail to realize that the DECADES OF experience from current members of the government have gotten us NO WHERE as a nation (other than on everyone elses "hate" lists)…

I know he doesn't have experience..but I'd rather put my trust in someone fresh and new than to rely on the politics of OLD..and the man is NOT DUMB..he knows he doesn't have BATTLE WOUNDS but he does know how to SURROUND HIMSELF WITH CAPABLE people..just look at his campaign…why wouldn't he do the same in office? Stop complaining about what harm he COULD do for the nation until he is actually in office..you all sound like a COLLECTIVE BROKEN RECORD…anyone who went to school should know that the President is not as POWERFUL as people like to think..they do have to work with CONGRESS before anything can be put into motion….

mr g   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

hey kathy you write long but you write wrong. we will send you a honoary invite to the presidential ball that President Obama is having in january HOORAH

arc   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Hillary Clinton voted to send over 4000 young American soldiers to their deaths in an unnecessary war. It is truly an honor Madame President.

MN Dem   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

I'm sorry, can anyone out there do simple math? Even if FL and MI are counted using their January results (of course giving Obama the uncommitted vote in MI) Obama will still have a lead of 140 delegates. Do the math!

I'm also sick of people claiming Clinton has the popular vote. That doesn't include caucus states! Clinton is talking about how we don't want to "disenfranchise" voters, while she is disenfranchsing everyone who caucused.

marygrace   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

ONCE AGAIN, HOW LOW CAN OBAMA SUPPORTERS STOOP. NANA, SHUT UP! YOU ARE AN IDIOT! ANOTHER OBAMA SUPPORTER WHO HAVE DISPLAYED THEIR TOTAL DISRESPECT AND DISREGARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S VIEWS AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHOM THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH. YOU ARE A BUNCH OF EVIL, BITTER, AWFUL, ROTTEN INDIVIDUALS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH FROM YOUR COMMENTS THAT OBAMA IS LOSING. PERHAPS YOU KNOW THAT HILLARY CLINTON WILL STEAL THIS NOMINATION FROM BARRACK FAKE OBAMA. HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE THE NOMINEE.

Justice   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

It is pathetic what Hillary will cling to. Anyway, let her have her moment in the sun. It is all that she has really. Unless the DNC over-turns the trend and annoys the millions of Obama's supporters, Hillary will be saying Mr. President, Sir to Obama. Enjoy it Hillary until June 3 and then support Obama!!! I would return my respect to you if you do.

atldan68   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Don't give up the fight for America Hillary!!! If you are not on the ticket I am ready to fully and financially support McCain. How stupid it would be for Obama to be so arrogant to think he can do it without the 17 million people that have voted for Hillary. Obama NEEDS Hillary if he wants the White House!!!

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Madame President? That's a joke! In her and her Clintonite world she's president; however, in the real world, she lost!
Sad part about it is, it was her election to lose and she did just that! Several people I know was going to vote for her; however, her low-down do anything to win tactics just sealed the deal for Obama. So if she and her faithful Clintonites are upset about the outcome, then they have no one to blame but themselves.

Von Bismark VIENNA   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

BILL&HILLARY CLINTON,(REV?) WRIGHT,(REV?)MICHAEL PFLEGER AND MANY OTHERS IN THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN ARE PART OF A CONSPIRACY.
HOW DOES ON EXPLAINTHAT THE (REV?) WRIGHT CONTROVERCY THEY WERE EXPECTING TO TURN THE TABLES IS SURFACING AT A CRUCIAL POINT IN THE OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN JUST AS IT HAPPENED BEFORE?
NOT LONG AGO MIKE(REV?)HUKABEE FANCIED OBAMA BEING SHOT AT; THE BLACK CO-CHAIR OF THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN WAS PAID TO DO THE DIRTY JOB OF RESCUCITATING THE WRIGHT'S CONTROVERCY AND JUST AFEW DAYS AGO HILLARY HERSELF EVOKED THE DEATH OF RJK AS HER REASON TO STAY IN THE RACE.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT OBAMA IS NOT SAFE!

Jaci   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

"It would have Been an Honor, Madame President"
I fixed that title for you, CNN
Because this thing is over.

Dylan   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

"Upon arrival Clinton gripped and grinned with the all white, mostly middle-aged female crowd"

There's the reason this primary has been so contentious. Not only does a racial and gender barrier exist among the two candidates factions, but a generational gap as well.

Older voters need to realize that we are at the dawn of a new generation in politics.

Obama 08

Unshrub   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

Delusional, delusional, delusional; what else can you say. Except maybe sad, sad, sad.

Vern   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

In January Sen. Clinton was far ahead of Sen. Obama. Now considering all the negatives that have been printed About Sen. Clinton's campaign to get her NY Senate Seat, we fully Expect CNN to cover her campaign and the significant negatives as well. Remember the Best Political Team In Television we expect to be Fair and Balanced As Well

Leena   May 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

As someone else asked on a different board…."If they didn't want to wait until August to find out the nominee, then why did they decide to have the convention in August?" It's a contest and they should both have their say and stay in.

Sidenote— Obama supporters your behavior is only sadly underscoring one of the reasons why people have a real problem voting for him. Between your behavior and the religious leaders he chooses to surround himself with he's suspect.

Frankly, you should realize even if he's the nominee he's not going to get elected without the full support of Hillary's base. There is no way around it. You should be trying to bring them into the fold vs. attacking their intelligence.

Stupid strategy all around.

US citizen   May 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Hillary is being too self centered. If she wants the good of the country then instead of fighting over each and every single vote, see the big picture. She after all her experience and age is trailing someone we hadnt heard of two years ago. That in itself should be enough of a reason to back off.

jaye   May 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Pathethic – to say the least.
Go home HiIllary, you are a complete disgrace to the democratic party and to women all over the USA. You make women look like lying, truth stretching, whiney, bitter, racist, did I mention lying, deceiteful, needy, and just all around a destroyer of what women should stand for. You do not look strong at all – plus you're riding Bills coattails.

David Buddingh in Naperville, IL   May 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Question:

How can a democartic canidate win the presidency with PA and Ohio but not with IL, IA, MN, WI i.e. state's with populations that went to college?

Answer: They cannot.

HRC you have marginalized a lot of democratic voters who would have crossed to you back in April but not now. Not after all of these shennighans and specious arguments.

You are destroying the party with your count the votes from these states but not those states arguments.

You cry out against sexism but never the true -ism of the campaign,
nepotism.

Ratgurl   May 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Yep, Hillary's a legend… in her own mind!

Hillary supporter   May 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Kenneth M–give me one good reason why Hillary should help Obama beat McCain–1. Jeremiah Wright 2. that other white preacher? 3 Ayers/? 4 Chicago mob-style politics? 5. underhandedly using others for his smears? 6. His "old white grandmother" that he kicked in the ribs? 7. Michelle Obama slamming Hillary and being so patriotic for the first time in her life?….Not on your life will any of Hillary supporters help your candidate. The democratic party is going down.

Mat   May 30th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Hillary supporters need to stop making thei decisions based on emotion – you loose all reason when you sound pissed off and angry at Obama -

gene   May 30th, 2008 11:10 am ET

By the way, the Obama supporters have a great way to go about uniting the party. Keep on bashing Clinton and her supporters and the defection rates will rise to about 50% and we will have a McGovern type election in the fall. The menu will include Nader, Bob Barr, maybe Ron Paul, Obama and McCain. If you have any wonder left, the best of this bunch is McCain. We know he is a patriot, a war hero, does not need money (his wfe is rich), knows what it is to suffer, is not an elitest, does not have a crazy pastor in his attic, is not black, is not female and most of the time he tells it as it is and not like we all wish.

Lucy   May 30th, 2008 11:10 am ET

I think the Clinton's continue to run so hard-working people will continue to send money in to cover their $20,000,000 debt and $11,000,000 campaign loan (or young boys will sell their bikes and send the proceeds to their campaign.)

Think about it…..

Rick in Florida   May 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

She wants to be POTUS…but has ended up as just POTTY. Hah!!

Carol   May 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

As Clinton "bounced" through the door? Yes, she's rather chubby but I don't think she is completely round and "bounces" to get from place to place. She will keep walking so she can try to step on, and crush, anyone who gets in her way.

Go Obama!

Jose   May 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

I'm exhausted by all Hillary supporters they want her to ignore the rules and just take (steel in my opinion) the votes. If America allow that then they go down in front of the whole world. And will not been taken serious anymore.
She is a lawyer……….even than she is able to do so??? Incredible!
Take care?

Jeff Radun   May 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

This new pastore of Obama who he has been friends with for 20 years and was part of his campaign until a month or 2 ago has done the following
Pfleger, has hosted Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, at St. Sabina and has called him "a gift from God to a sick, sick world."

This is why Hillary must win.
Obama has Mr Wright, Mr Pfleger, Mr Rezko, Mr Farrakhan, Mr Ayres and his wife who is not proud to be American.
I can not understand how the media could allow this to happen.
and not keep it on the news every day,

AJ, IL   May 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

WOW! Very delusional people. Skip the primary season and general election process, let's just coronate her? Talk about a severe case of entitlement!

The democratic nomination process will be over by June 6th!

h   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

People say Hillary has delivered, so where's the beef? The Clinton name is the essence of devisiveness in the country. Isn't it better to pull together than lose 50% …. think on that you Clintonites… time to move on and embrace the future rather than reflect on the good times of the past.

Richard, FL   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

It is fascinating to hear the Hillary supporters who avidly support her, but when she officially gives up and tells them to support Obama, they will tell us that Hillary isn't honest and doesn't care about the future of our country so they will vote for McBush.

Jeff   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

"A lot of people didn't want this campaign to keep going. They've been trying to tell me to stop running since January …"

Not true. Just since March when it became statistically impossible for you to secure the nomination. The really sadness here is, we could have been pounding McCain since then instead of putting up with this foolishness.

Dems '08

Stephen   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

The team with the most points when the game ends is the winner.

The Patriots were the stronger team before the game was played. there's only a few seconds left in the game Hillary and you are out of time outs. There are no 200 point delegate plays to call inthe last seconds of this game.

Take a knee and hand the ball to refs and shake Obama's hand a wish him well. That's how you show good sportsmanship when you lose

Mat   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

CNN – Why is this news? Why – The whole thing is just about retired bitter woman telling her to stay in the race – SO WHAT – WHY ARE YOU STILL RUNNING THESE CLINTON FLUFF STORIES??

So sick of it!

ree not for Obama   May 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

Kathy you said it very well.

I just can't bring myself to even consider voting for Obama. If he would had waited and had more experience, maybe.

Just because people are not getting on his bandwagon, we are whites who are still racist, we are uneducated, in some states the people are stupid. And the list could go on.

Don't you Obama supporters realize we live In the United States and we have a choice. We feel the same way about the Obama's that you feel about Clinton. We wish he would go back home.

We don't need someone like him and his wife that only care because they want him to be the first Black president. We are tired of having them shoved at us. He is NOT GOD. Voting for him is like another 4 years of Bush. No experience and thinks who he is.

Stop dividing the party and let's unite against McBush!!!

This is total denial in it's purist form! Delusional, pathetic, selfish, and outright scandelous how this women continues to keep up with this charade! Every body has an opinion about this mess but I can only see destruction, division and hatred comeing from HRC supporters. I commend fellow bloggers for voicing their views but I can only say:
WELCOME MR. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!! YOU have brought integrity, honor, unselfishness, and is the true uniter that we have been looking for!!! No more race card playing, gender division, lies, or hatred!!! WE the people can not afford FOUR MORE YEARS OF WAR, RECESSION, AND DISTORTED REALITY!!!!!!!

PJ   May 30th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Obama's past will keep coming back to hunt him. Obama was a "community organizer" and gave a speech in 2002. "Community organizer" means far left activism, is the code words that the Marxists use.
Obama's advantage in delegates result not from popular votes but from caucuses that grant 8 delegates for every 10,000 votes while the primary popular votes grant 1 delegate for every 10,000 votes. This is outrageous and make Obama an illegitimate candidate.

Jane Gozun   May 30th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Carmen, North Carolina   May 30th, 2008 11:07 am ET

I am a 54 year old woman and I think Hillary is a hoc of crap. She is a fake and I don'e see why everyone is flocking to her. She is nothing but a big cry baby. Now what I would like to say to all Hillary women supporters, I hope you have the stomach for disappoint if you are black because she surely don't like you but if you think she do keep hanging in there and ask a favor any flavor and see what you get. I use to like her but now there is to much writing on the wall that tells me she don't like black people, but Bill check out is new girl friend and you will know why he stump in all the back doors of rural areas and not Hillary. She has never been in an all black setting since her campaign and I think that should say a lot, but Old Bill he don't care. Ha Ha

Alex in TX   May 30th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Tenacity, I admire.

The inability to grasp reality and willingness to change the rules to for self benefit are not characterstics I want in my president.

Phil Newton   May 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Enough.

TF   May 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

You people saying Hillary should run as an independent are totally ignorant to election rules. But that doesn’t come as a surprise to me since you all have been convinced that there are no rules when it comes to a Clinton.

She can't run as an Independent so get over it.

IRIS PITA   May 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

As a elderly black female, I am so disapointed in the outcome of the Clinton campaign. I was so committed to seeing her get the nomination and vowed to work for her in the fall. However when the spector of racism raised its ugly head through some of her supportors I was shocked that she did not take this matter on and firmly denounce any notion that she welcomed this kind of support. Instead it appears that she has capitalized on these sometimes not so sutle remarks. I was such a supportor of Bill Clinton. And now I realize that she is out to win by any means necessary. This is not the kind of President we need at this time in history. Being a woman is more than just a gender status. I would not want my granddaughter to acheive through racism and lies. Sorry Hillary I thought you were better than that.

Eli   May 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

I love the way CNN slants things to make it sound worse. Why did we have to hear "all white", this sounds a little like O's race baiting / American hating close friend "uncle" preacher and wife of his. But hey thats what this race has been about from the beginning of January, Obama and his news media made sure of that.

Dallas, TX   May 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Get over it already, she's not going to get the nomination.

Let's move on!

I too am really getting tired of the whole democratic party. I don't understand WHY they would let a sore loser ruin an entire parties chances to win. This makes no sense and I think that we havent even begun to tap the reall issuses and reasons behind Ms Hillary's divisive measures to win when by all clear MATH , and logic she cant win unless she steals it or God fobid what her terrible statement suggested.

Ellie in Aurora, CO   May 30th, 2008 11:05 am ET

It will be either Madam President or President McCain. Mr Koolaid can't win a Presidential election in November. Go Hillary, go! Win the Democratic nomination so a Democrat can win the Presidential election in November! If Nobama wins the nomination, he'll lose in November and the Koolaid drinkers will have their empty sugar rush finally end and crash.

HILLARY 08!

Jolene Johnson, a Madison resident and undecided voter, said Clinton's situation did not look "favorable" but said the "tenacity of staying in is typical of a woman … she is not a quitter." She came to the diner to hear Clinton's pitch, and brought her granddaughter along to show her that a woman could run for president.

Statements like this really disturb me since I look forward to the day when women will be entirely equal. I really don't understand how anything that Hillary is doing now can be revered by so many women. If staying in when you've already lost is tenacity typical of a woman and revered by them, it's no wonder some people are afraid of a woman in power. This campaign of hers has moved from one based in reality and logic in the first year or so, to one based solely on emotion and illogical mathematics (or chaning the rules to suit you after you previously accepted them).

She's not helping you anymore, ladies. To be honest, many of the women that I know, mostly in their 20s and early 30s and in the corporate world, are getting quite frustrated because they know that Hillary is no longer helping the cause of feminism with her neverending campaign.

Gaby in TX   May 30th, 2008 11:04 am ET

Hillary supporters, I have to question, as I seriously question Hillary's ability to lead this country. She is not and has not been transparent and her voters, still do not see that. Why should America wait until she is the nominee to find out about the rest of the skeletons that hide in her closet, justing waiting in anticipation to fall out. Rendell, one of her supporters, praised Farrakhan, now what is that? Double standard and hypocrisy is looming in the Clinton campaign. I am glad when the nominee is selected, then we can get on with the remaining election.

good stable direction.If you examine her behavior, she is sneaky as
she can be.

D Frank   May 30th, 2008 11:04 am ET

Rev Pfleger's apology is simply not enough!!!! It just seems that this church and everything about it is all wrong. RADICAL is the only word that I can think of and to actually think that OBAMA supported it for 20 years.

That is the essence of what I think is all wrong about OBAMA. Barack Obama cannot control everything that is said in that church or who says it but why would any fair person even bother supporting it or attending the sermons for such a long time??

How can any man who is running for the highest office in the country want to be a part of it?? How can any Obama supported logically defend Obama for being a part of this disgusting organization? Whether it is a Catholic priest or Rev Wright, this Church is rotten to the core.

Because they preach politics during their sermons they should lose their church "tax advantages" immediately. The POPE should call this priest back to Rome and reprimand Father Pfleger.

Americans, before they cast their votes, if Obama is selected the nominee, seriously think about Obama's membership for 20 years in this Radical Church. I simply do not think that Obama is the right choice at this time to be the President. Perhaps after we learn more about his past, he should be considered but not now.

Disgusting.

Fella from Chicago   May 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Yep, and all the old white folks are going to vote for the ticket of Barack Hussein Obama/Farrakhan; Barack Hussein Obama/Wright; or Barack Hussein Obama/Father (bet me) Pfleger. There's not enough blacks or far left wing whites in this country (yet) to get this inexperienced candidate into office. Our forefathers have got to be turning in their graves with this propspect. People can say all they want about McCain, but when they get into the privacy of the voting booth in November, John McCain will be the next President of the good old U.S. of A. Thank you God for re-instating sanity in this country once again and having one of her former warriors contine to lead us and protect us.

This isn't a dynasty, it's AMERICA! Your not entitled to anything, you have to earn it, just cause you were first lady doesn't mean you're entitled to be the first women president, I can think of so many other's that I wish would have ran beside's you, that would NOT have split the democratic party, and we all would have been glad to have them both on the ticket, but you and your scorched earth kitchen sink saying you'll agree to not count vote's only to later cry about it while not counting caucus's that followed the rule's, you cheating…great message you're setting for kids, if it doesn't go you're way, change the rule's at the last minute, cheat your way to victory!

I would never vote for her after all this, seeing her true colors. And I started out supporting her, I didn't even know who Obama was until I actually listened to his idea's and speech's and saw how smart and humble he was, not like this spoiled bratt.

Smart Hillary, Copycat Obama   May 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Hillary is the best candidate among the three. Yes, she is ambitious, but her ambitiousness drives her to help the country back the way it was. It is not power like all the hatemongers would say. The power of the presidency is to give back to the people what's lost. Unfortunately, GWB did not do what he was supposed to, therefore losing his credibility. Hillary's been around for so long and the experience she's claiming is all true. You have to know the "ins" and "outs" of Washington, DC in order to get things done. She failed before in her health program and continuous to fight on. If you hate Hillary Clinton so much, you do not know her very well, indeed . . . if she loses, we won't have the likes of her again, ever. I've read bloggers say, 'I want a woman president, but not her,' WHO? may I ask? N-O-N-E so far, I may be dead by then.

It will be all over next week with Obama ahead.

There are signs from Hillary & her camp that its over. If you observe, Hillary is not having many rallies. Of late, she looks more like a tourist than a candidate. Did you all see her in Puerto Rico & Mt Rushmore?
Even this article states that there were only 200 people at her rally. Not much.

Did you all see Lanny (Hillary Supporter) on CNN yesterday? He looked defeated.

GAME OVER! Now on to the General Election!!!

MD in CT   May 30th, 2008 11:01 am ET

If a voter values experience in Washington, D.C., and particularly as a United States Congressperson (such as mentioned by Clinton supporters), then the choices of the superdelegates who are currently in Congress (elected by the Democratic voters in each state) should be given great credibility. This is especially valid because these same elected representatives in Congress work closely with both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama and know them very well.

The majority who have declared support Obama. Enough said.

Windy   May 30th, 2008 11:01 am ET

I just read a Pew Research Poll that shows a majority of democrats now believe that the Democratic Primary process continuing on is a bad thing. Most republicans love it, and Karl Rove, Clinton's advisor for the super-delegates, is more happy than any of them. Rove represents the win-at-any-cost Republican philosophy, and his role in Valerie Plain, pre-Iraq war propaganda and Seigleman in Alabama are just the tip of he iceberg. Under an unfriendly administration post-2009, he will wake up every morning wondering if he is under criminal investigation for what he and other croneys did.

Aside from the Pew Research poll, the biggest problem I have with the Clinton campaign slogging along is that under most circumstances, average candidates who run out of campaign donations and see their prospects for winning practically non-existent bring their campaign to an end. Since Super Tuesday, Clinton's campaign is fueled in large part by debt and money from her personal fortune, accumulated largely through her husband's foriegn investments, lobbying and speeches before foriegn governments and related entities. It skirts campaign finance laws, increases foriegn influence at the highest level of government and makes a mockery of American democracy.

Clinton needs to bring this to a respectable end. For those who say she gets too much criticism in the media, they must remember that some candidates just simply have more baggage by virtue of their acts. Bosnia sniper fire, JFK and RFK references with the "A" word, Whitewater, Monica Lewinski, impeachment, travelgate, etc., are serious issues based on her or her husband's acts, and not the media's fault. As we have seen with Scott McClellen, it is their duty to report it

To NANA:

Well said. I too am a hardworking grandmother and I would definitely love to see the younger generation take a stab at fixing this country. It could not be any worse than what has happened in the past 7 years. Everyone is asking for experience and ranting and raving about voting for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee, this just goes to show you that THEY don't care about the issues and THEY don't listen. It's all about the dislike of the person. Everyone should go back and listen to all the tapes where Hillary did not have a problem with FL and MI not counting when she was leading and listen to the promises she is making (i.e. the gas thing). How could she have push that through and not even in office yet?

I have 2 children, both college educated, and I do not have a problem listening to their ideas on how to make things work. The older generation is just keeping things in the past and hate to admit it. That's the reason we have this thing called racism. So NANA, thanks for your words.

Hillary, it is so nice to see how you attract old white ladies and other bigoted scum. I'm not a pastor and I'm not affiliated with a campaign – but you have blown the dog whistle far too often to ignore. If I were in any way qualified to run for high public office, I would be so ashamed to collect my votes in the manner that you have. You have, at least since Ohio, done the worst kind of race baiting – insinuating that you are the great white hope.
For this old white lady, at least, please take your bus and go home!

Gaby in TX   May 30th, 2008 10:59 am ET

Why is that Hillary does not want to except defeat? Father Pfleger actually spoke the truth about Hillary's feeling of entitlement to the White House.The rest of his comments I disagree with. However, his comments pale in comparison to what Hillary implied with her RFK remarks, while insulting the Kennedy Family and the Obama Family. 48 states followed the rules, as a result Michigan and Florida should be penalized and the RNC should be held accountable. What are rules for? The Clinton's ran as an incumbent, and that said, she has got a lot of nerve. Then she will stop at nothing to try and change the rules as she goes along, bring in divisiveness and calls it at the right time. Her pattern is all to clear. She will sell anybody a bill of goods just to get elected.

Who called for her to get out of the race in January? Exactly who? The primaries had just begun in January. It was after she lost 11 states in a row that people wondered if/why she was staying in.

She said this in the infamous video from So. Dakota last Friday – that people having been pushing her out since January! And then she let her guard down and revealed the real reason why she has been staying in this race.

Obama's racist friends sure do make an interesting crowd of supporters.

Racism is alive and well in black america.

The whites are getting a little sick of it. I think Obama (and eventually the DNC) are in for a very interesting wake up call.

If the DNC were intelligent (something I have yet to see), they would put in Clinton as the nominee and say, "Sorry Obama, you have too many terrorists, racial biggots, and haters in your campaing to win".

We will see.

Alex from the UK   May 30th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Very interesting, well I’m not American in fact I’m British living in Scotland (UK), however, I’m very interested in politics and I’ve been following the US presidential race for some time now and I admit that I’m pretty surprise by what I’m seeing in a country supposed to be the biggest democratic and fair country in the world.

Concerning FL & MI, and from my understanding they were penalised for having they contest earlier than set by the DNC rules, and before the race started all candidates accepted and signed agreement not to campaign in those states and not to count any cast votes. So why didn’t FL & MI voters complaint about disenfranchisement prior to the vote? And why did senator Hillary Clinton signed the agreement if she worried about disenfranchisement or wanted every vote to count? Finally, would a compromise from both camps here be the fair, wise, and democratic way to reach a solution in this case?
I’ve also read some saying FL & MI governments should the ones to be punished and not the voters however, what you forget is that you (voters) have elected the people in offices (governments) to represent you, and this includes taking decisions on your behalf. Therefore, whatever decisions they make is regarded as your own decisions and their outcomes (good or bad) affect everyone.

Regarding the strongest of the two democrats, again I’m pretty amused here because I thought you guys were clever than that. Many are saying Senator Hilary Clinton is the strongest at this point in the race and I could not disagree more.
Let go back when it all started then, senator Hillary Clinton was up by over 100 – 150 delegates and was the inevitable nominee (sort of speak) but today (less than a week to the end of primary) she is 200 delegates behind. So by what measure is she the strongest and more electable? If she was, she would have wrapped this thing up months ago view here status and the advance she had over all her competitors.

Anyway, it will be every interesting to see how democratic and fair the US really is this year.

Good Luck to all the candidates!

And God Bless the United Kingdom

Alex

I could not agree more   May 30th, 2008 10:58 am ET

After all, she is the best choice of the three. Sometimes a leader of a capitalistic society(not a democracy which we as Americans have stepped away from) has to be willing do do all those things people hate CAPITALIZE Where it counts, she is the best choice we have right now for the people. At least she fights for the underdogs. It IS an honer Mss. President.

Anne   May 30th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Chipster   May 30th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Obama supports have accused Sen. Clinton of being a liar, yet they have lied all over these blogs. I just read one comment that she should have apologized for saying he should be shot! That's insane! She NEVER said any such thing!

She did not lie about the threat of sniper fire in Bosnia either. She neglected to say "threat" couple of times and you'd think she was a terrorist or something from the extremely nasty comments. Obama supporters (or Republicans posing) have posted some of the most awful false accusations about Sen. Clinton.

Considering the decades of work Sen. Clinton has performed for civil rights, establishing legal aid services for those who are economically disadvantaged, and helping for children; you would think her work would be more appreciated. It must be very hurtful for her to see how quickly her years of service have been discarded by the communities she has served so faithfully. She has earned more respect than she has received.

Being a Republican and involved with party leaders I can honestly tell you that the RNC would much prefer to have Hillary as the DNC choice. Why? That is the only way they can possibly win the November election. Obama is a huge threat to their chances and they know it. Also have to say that many of the posts here for Hillary are really Republicans pushing for Hillary to win the nomination so they can win in Novemeber. Are people stupid or what? Well, if you read many of these posts that question has already been answered!

Keep going, Hillary !! You are supported by more people than you think. !! keep going and continue your campaign. Hopefully the superdelegates will act in the capacity they were appointed for and not just run off the cliff like lemmngs. Mary from Sarasota, FL BTW, I want MY vote counted TOO…. sigh…

Beverly, NYC   May 30th, 2008 10:55 am ET

All together now, awwwww someone called her Madame President.

Hillary supporters crack me up, run Hillary run, take it to the convention. Hello her campaign is in debt. What will she run on? She should have millions if you are all putting your money where your mouths are.

I would like to see her take it to the convention, where we can witness a complete meltdown. Her holding on to the lecturn sreaming that she has more vote, people like me in redneck states, then the secret service tases her and drags her off. That would be crazy fun.

Tired of the antics, PA   May 30th, 2008 10:55 am ET

I am amazed at HRC and her supporters. I would almost like to see her be given the nomination so I can see McCain win by stressing all of her baggage and how she was given the nomination and didn't earn it. Let her supporters be enough to beat McCain and we Obamanuts as they say will sit back and laugh at the erosion of the abortion rights so many of her followers want. I could never be a democrat again.

UnityisNeeded   May 30th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Hi Hillary,

Even Al Gore had to concede eventually.

Oh ya, super delegates that are uncommitted, you all should be a shamed of yourself. If you want party unity, get of the pot. As of now you guys are the ones that are stinking up the place.

The only thing that Hillary was scrutinized for was her constant flip flopping! If all you "have" on Obama is the people he may have hung around BECAUSE THEY ARE INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT HE REPRESENTS then….ok! Maybe if you look closely OUTSIDE of what youve been told Obama having friends that dont agree with America's policies is a testament to what he has said all along! We must talk to our friends AND enemies…DUH!

the ONLY thing obama has been able to do for this race is bring out the racism that has existed forever but has been kept under wraps. uniter?
So Donna, the country was okay because the racism was undercover and now because the bigots have crawled from under their rocks and displayed their hate and bitterness it is Obama's fault. Good God woman the best thing that has happened is to put forefront the awful stench of racism that is in this country so it can be dealt with once and for all. This country needs to wash itself of bigotry once and for all. We will be a better country for it.

Obama's behavior is inexcusable–he allows another slimebag minister to hit Hillary below the belt–did not even apologize to the many white Americans who were insulted by his fellow congregation members clapping over the man's despicable rhetoric…and do not try to convince anyone that he did not hear this sermon and knew it was going to happen. I cannot wait until Uncle Jeremiah reappears. Those leftist "educated" people who want him in will be the death of American values as we know them…..

There are 14 comments on the Preist that made the degrading and demeaning comments about Hillary Clinton and CNN has closed the comments. The way the Obama surrogates and supporters have conducted themselves, as well as Obama himself, I have decided to either not vote in the fall or to vote for Mccain. I have been a life long liberal Democrat (81 years of age) and I am ashamed of my party. I am not one of the left wing nuts that has wrested the control of the party from the moderates. Young people are so funny . They think that all you have to do is "hope' and "change" will come. They don't realize that it will take hard work and experience . So funny!

I think media should drop this now, become serious and report about Obama and McCain instead.
But I get it; she is insane…

If Clintons supporters love war and hate helthcare just because she lost they can vote for McCain. Obama has won the DEMOCRATIC nomination – if not Clinton do pull a RFK on him…

Joyce in Florida   May 30th, 2008 10:52 am ET

The title of this article says it all. It would be great if Senator Clinton was the eventual nominee and then I would be proud to say "Madame President". Sounds really good to me. Senator Clinton may be behind in delegates but she is winning the important states and the popular vote for a general election. I also hope that the DNC will be fair in their meeting on Saturday and award the delegates from the primary results. If that meeting does not go well, I am afraid we are definitely going to see a fight on the convention floor. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid should stay out of it and let the people vote their choice. The people have spoken and want Hillary Clinton as the nominee to run against John McCain. She is the strongest by far and may very well be our next President. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!

Debby   May 30th, 2008 10:52 am ET

I think its funny that Obama's supporters are still being so racial. Get over the skin color. Just because Hillary is white she is entitled? No, she is just a better candidate. The polls show it, everything shows it. You Obama supporters see the writing on the wall come November. Four more years for the Republicans, all because Obama can carry the African American vote in the south in states that WILL NEVER be blue states…AWESOME! Great choice.

I will not stand by and have my democratic freedoms usurped by by those insiders.She can win without their help. People are beginning see that Obamma is being popularized by the Press and their propoganda machine which is owned and run by ones behind the curtains.

"Gov. Dukakis has emerged as the voters' choice, the clear leader in the Democratic nomination process. It is time for the party leadership to unite behind his candidacy"

Said by Bill Clinton in May of 1996. Wasn't it Bill that said he'd never seen people trying to end an election early before? How disrespectful it was to his wife?

Even Bill understood back then, the party must unify if they were going to go strong into November.

Just when in January did people ask Hillary to get out of the race? People can't be that easy to decieve.

Millions of people wanted her to have sense enough to stop running when it was determined that she could not catch the front runner. That's what most candidates, that care about the party, do.

im asking the clintons all her supporters ,this questing.
1.is the Clintons honest?? if yes then why dont they stand by their words to the americans.when she was doing good in the race she opened her mouth and promised all the americans that no matter what happens florida and michinge delegates will never be added.becourse the 2 states violated the rules and law.this same person who promised american is changing her mind becourse the race does not favour her,my worry ist what will she do when become president.this shows that she only think of her herself not the american people.2.what will be next when voted as president is she really going to keep her words as she did with florida and michinge??or is she really going to keep her promised.if we need change in american then we have to start first by respecting the laws and rules of the country.and this complie to everybody inclunding the president.i mean how you creat laws and rules to protect everyone but break them when its disfavours you.thats only the fact.its painful to lose that dream but think its not about clintons,obama mccain or anyother persons alone.its about millions of americans who need somebody who keep is own to protect them even its disfavours him.please stop judging by personal emmotions.give cesser to what belongs to cesser

Paul   May 30th, 2008 10:46 am ET

For the sake of the party and your self respect, I urge Clinton supporters to demonstrate some restraint and common sense on Saturday.

There have been relatively few calls for Sen Clinton to "drop out" as most supporters of Sen Obama recognized that the full primary would need to play itself out. As we approach the end of the primary, and hopefully an equitable resolution for Michigan and Florida, consider the greater goal here. The republican party and mccain's angry war rhetoric can not be given a chance to divide us. No candidate is bigger than the interests of a country's (and world's) citizens. United we stand.

Ted   May 30th, 2008 10:46 am ET

Obama stands no chance against him..It is unfortunate actually.

pat   May 30th, 2008 10:45 am ET

it seem to me that if you count the votes from fl. an mich. that clinton wins the popular vote. 1st THERE WAS NO CAMPAINING IN FL. although obama ran ads on t.v. that is against the DNC rules therefore he should be denided any votes an delagates. then you have mich. his name wasen.t on the ballot therefore she wins all there votes an delagates, you can not give him votes that he did not get there were uncommitted votes but his name is not uncommitted. if the people of mich. wanted obama to receive there vote they should have written his name in. therefore hillary should receive all the votes an delilagates.

Robert in Toronto,ON   May 30th, 2008 10:45 am ET

I thought this debate was suppose to be "on the issues". Not what a person said *cough* RFK *cough* or what someone else said *cough* Pfleger *cough*. But let's be real… the media knows that on policies alone Obama and Clinton agree with like 90% of the time. But nothing is more attention driven than black man vs white woman.

What bothers most Obama supporters is the fact that Clinton always cites whatever polls or information she can distort to her advantage.

Anyone can make up stats to support their position. 83% of all people know that.

Army Veteran Against McCain   May 30th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Reasons why Veterans, active duty personell, and anyone who cares about them should not vote for McCain:

*AWOL for May 22nd vote on GI Bill. Expressed opposition to bill saying "it was too generous to Veterans".

*Voted against Bill in September that would have mandated adequate rest for troops between combat deployments.

*Voted No on $1.5-billion increase for Veteran Medical services (money would have come from closing corporate tax loophole).

*Voted No on establishing a trust fund to bolster underfunded Veteran Hospitals.

*Voted No in May 2006 against $20-billion allotment for expanding Veteran Medical Facilities.

*Voted No in April 2006 to increase Veteran Outpatient care.

*Voted No in March 2004 another $1.8-billion reserve for Veteran Medical care (again funded by closing corporate tax loopholes).

Bottomline, McCain is more interested in taking care of big business then the men and women he wrongly sent to fight in Iraq.

Brian   May 30th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Just wait and watch…she won't be able to steal the nomination so she'll wreck Obama's chances by running as an independent. She is selfish enough to do it even though she knows she would split the vote and lose anyway, just because she feels she is the rightful Democratic heir to the office. Like a spoiled child if she can't have it, no one can.

Obama and McCain are truly awful candidates – hard to vote for either of them.

I really want Hillary to keep going, if not as a dem, then independent.

Otherwise, I'll just write her name in on my ballot…..since votes don't seem to count here in florida anyway.

It's like they forget their memories, or worse, they are so desperate to realize the dream of a woman as President, they don't care. She's making the mulato senator look extremely gracious by comparison.

The HillBilly campaign is like watching a sinking ship with the Captain (Hillary) spouting “Don’t jump ship. We haven’t sunk yet!”

One would expect the Captain to go down with her ship, but dang Hillary, at least let the DNC survive! You can't win, you won't win, there is no stopping your ship from sinking. Pack it up, back Obama and lets move on!

Kudos to Kathy's comments, he copies everything. If he claims that he was an Illinois State Senator, he should know what to expect in the bigger leagues in Washington, D.C. What did he do when he went to the U.S. Senate? Copy the Hillary model. OBAMA IS A BIG TIME COPYCAT!!!!! SCARY!!!!!

Wise White Guy   May 30th, 2008 10:41 am ET

Hilda….the gas tax holiday was first of all, a polical pandering stunt. It was a horrible idea that for Hillary was a tool to prey on stupid people and get their vote. This worked well in West Virginia. For McSame, he actually thought it was a good idea until he totally forgot what day it was and his staunch position on the gas tax holiday. The truth is that neither of them could promise you anything of the sort and they knew that full well when they puppetted you for votes.

Ex-Hillary supporter   May 30th, 2008 10:41 am ET

A vote for Clinton is a vote for lies, corruption and unethical behavior.
She has proven to be a lousy role model for women, I'll wait for a more worthy female candidate to come along.

Dave C - NJ   May 30th, 2008 10:41 am ET

I'm an Obama supporter however I'm 100% SURE that Hillary never considered being white was ANY part of why she should be president.
I'm sure it never entered her mind.

That crap about Hillary thinking she deserved it because she was white is completely ridiculous…look at the level she's at folks…it doesn't come into play.

(This is to all the blacks on the other thread that was quickly closed lol)

And of course she has a right to stay in the race. I understand the DNC is upset because it takes time away from the general, but you know what, rules are rules. Where does it say you can force someone to give up?

Obama will win regardless.

Kenneth of Minneapolis (KW)   May 30th, 2008 10:41 am ET

It cracks me up how people are suppoting the Priest Pflegler fr his racist comments and saying that he only spoke the truth. The entire congregation, Obama's supporters, cheered and hollared when the priest said what he said about Hillary being white and feeling entitled to the presidency. This is what we have to look forward to with an Obama presidency. It will be more racism against whites like you have neve seen. Heck it will be that way if Obama doesn't win. It's a lose lose situation. Obama is such a smart man, but he is completely and utterly politically naive. He would have made such an unstoppable candidate if he had completed one or two terms in Washington first and actually accomplished some things. What has he done? We don't know. If he could have proven that he could be in Washington fo a complete term and actually accomplished anything without becoming "part" of washington, then I would have complete respect for him. The problem is that you cannot accomplish anything without becoming part of the the "process". Everything that Obama is against is exactly what he needs to become in order to do anything. Why are supporters of Obama so naive? It's absolutely crazy.

There is speculation that in response to Obama's victory speech next Tuesday, Clinton will announce an independent bid for president. So far, there are 250,000 signatures on the first petition. 2008 will be an exciting election year after all.

Helen, GA   May 30th, 2008 10:40 am ET

Rafael, do not speak spanish here. I want Hillary to win. She has experience and she will be a better candidate. Obama is a cheat. I think he shoulsd join Jeremiah Wright in the pulpit.

It truly is an honor to have Madame President Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Bjoerlingfan   May 30th, 2008 10:40 am ET

Hey, I think she should definitely stick it out until the last primaries are finished–let everyone have their say. However, if on June 4th she's still behind I think she should bow out gracefully and throw her full support behind Obama.

I trully believe that in the end, Hillary will come out on top.

roger   May 30th, 2008 10:39 am ET

this race has gone too far.

who ever is the nominee the underlying message is clear and I hope people in washington see this and realize one point — people are tired of washington ways, lobby, outsourcing, NAFTA, the economy, the politics and want a change.

austbill   May 30th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Go Hillary!!!!

Hillary is a champion and a champion for the American people.

Promising fiscal responsibility huh? Thats interesting…how much is her campaign debt nowadays anyway?

Concerned in Alabama   May 30th, 2008 10:38 am ET

All the "old" white women are voting for me."

"Upon arrival Clinton gripped and grinned with the all white, mostly middle-aged female crowd stopping at each booth and table to chat about issues or her Wednesday trip to Mt. Rushmore."

Okay, we get it!

Obama 08!

Proud1of 26% in WV   May 30th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Bow to the Queen,we are not worthy.there is a thing called reality.One of the places that she needs to go is back to her real job in New York.How can so many people expect for millions of people to vote,Millions of dollars spent on primaries ,then just give it to her even though she has lost in every catagory.I'm going to be glued to CNN Saturday to see if the if the DNC does the right thing or if they wimp out and penalize the 48 states that followed the rules.

Less, Austin Tx   May 30th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Hillary's having a time of her life people – causing chaos among the democratic party, in a time of War, where thousands of troops are trying to survive, when the United States is in a mess. And she's enjoying herself.

Can't you see how much fun she is having with herself, and you have to wonder HOW?

Hillary is absolutely revolting.

Fed up in Florida   May 30th, 2008 10:38 am ET

How many more skeletons in Obama's closest will be exposed.? It is amazing that one who proports to be so pure has so many friends that are racist bigots. I am tired of hearing he did not know these people had these views. If Obama had been scrutinized like Senator Clinton, folks would not be so supportive of his views. The Democrats are going to lose once again because they are out of touch with reality. I am a long time Democrat, but I can not and will not support Obama.

"The Great Elephant Is Wounded"-Kareem From Hampton, Va   May 30th, 2008 10:37 am ET

Its so funny how every one keeps hollering how Obama doesnt have the experience because they can easily point at his years in the Senate but they over look the fact at how well he out campaigned a person with 35 years experience to the point where they are in debt trying to keep up! Im sorry its easy to make that argument but look at reality! Hillary shouldnt be in this position! He must be doing SOMETHING right! Oh yeah thats right..we're delusional! Even if Hillary got the nomination at this point she will NOT win! Everyone around the world has watched Obama beat her fair and square and everyone around the world has watched her try and manipulate this contest with her tactics and her, all of a sudden, concern for Mi and Fl! People wake up! I love Hillary just as much as you do…but her failure is her fault and hers alone!! She cant blame blacks..latinos are the bigger minority now! She cant blame right wing conspiracy because she is the only one that used right wing tactics. She's tried to blame sexism even though if she were anyone else they wouldve BEEN told her to step down! The most admirable thing she can do right now for ALL WOMAN is step down gracefully if not any woman that runs in teh future will be smeared by Hillary's tactics Every day she stays in after June 3rd is a day taken away from her great legacy!

NANA   May 30th, 2008 10:37 am ET

DEAR HILLARY AS ONE SENIOR CITIZEN TO ANOTHER I WOULD THINK THAT DURING THESE YEARS WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO BE HERE WE WOULD HAVE LEARNED SOME COMMON SENSE AND THAT EVERYTHING CAN NOT GO OUR WAY.YOU HAVE A HUSBAND,A DAUGHTER,NICE HOMES,AUTOMOBILES,YOUR HEALTH AND PLENTY OF MONEY.I ON THE OTHER HAND DO NOT HAVE ALL THESE THINGS BUT I DO HAVE COMMON SENSE AND THAT SHOULD TELL YOU TO STOP ACTING LIKE A OLD STUBBORN MULE OUR GENERATION HAS GOT THIS COUNTRY IN THE SHAPE ITS IN TODAY.LET THE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE A GO AT IT WHO KNOWS IT WILL PROBABLY WORK OUT IF WE OLDER ONES WOULD KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT AND STOP PRETENDING LIKE WE KNOW SO MUCH SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HERE SO LONG.I LOOK AT MY GRANDKIDS AND SEE HOW WELL THEY GET ALONG WITH ALL RACES THEY CALL EACH OTHER BEST FRIENDS AND HERE WE ARE OLD AS DIRT AND STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO GET ALONG .THE BIBLE SAYS OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES COMES WORDS OF WISDOM AND THAT I BELIEVE.SO SIT BACK,RELAX AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GIVE THESE YOUNG FOLKS A CHANCE AFTER ALL WE'VE ALREADY MESSED THIS COUNTRY UP AND SINCE THEY WILL BE THE ONES LEFT HERE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO MAKE A COUNTRY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE IN AND ENJOY.

Wise White Guy   May 30th, 2008 10:37 am ET

Be lucky to call her Madame garbage collector if she keeps making a fool of herself. By the way, i thought the priest mocking Hillary was hilarious. Should have been an SNL skit.

Madame What??   May 30th, 2008 10:37 am ET

So she promised fiscal responsibility…ummm before you buy into that you may want to find out if she's paid off all those small business owners her campaign owes money to…on that healthcare promise you might want to make sure that her staff's healthcare premiums are up to date. After that , and if still believe all her crap you might want to see a doctor.

Obama Supporters claim they are intelligent. How could they not see that if Barack sits in the Oval Office for 365 days, he's just going to be "present" and keep on sitting until he falls asleep as in his politics in Chicago, calling out "present" for 133 times without voicing his stance on issues. You are all delusional that he can do the job!!!!

Hillary Rodham Clinton – The only canidate with a built in BS detector.

Barak Hussein Obama – The only candidate with a built in racial church.

John McCain – The only Republican candidate.

I will vote for Clinton (write in her name if necessary), give my vote to the only other centrist on the ballot if Clinton is not on the ticket if necessary (That would be McCain) or just leave the presidential election part blank. I WILL NEVER VOTE OBAMA. I think Clinton should get the nomination and pick someone OTHER THAN OBAMA to run as her VP.

It only takes one negative ad campain of Reverend Wrong, Reverend Flatulance and Bill "I only wish I had set more bombs" Ayres to ruin the Democratic chances in November.

NO MORE INTERNS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. It's time for a change, Put someone that can govern into the White House!!!!!!!

Scott C   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Clinton supporters come out and cry that it isn't the fault of the people of Florida and Michigan that their leaders held the election unfairly. They showed up and voted the only way they could, so they should be counted, it is the American way.

Isn't it so true then in the caucus states. Sure you would like them to have a primary, but their leaders decided on a caucus, and people came to vote the only way they could. Should THEIR votes NOT be counted?

That is what Clinton wants to do. Her "lead" in popular vote, includes Michigan and Florida (With Obama getting 0 in Michigan) and NOT counting 4 caucus states that Obama won.

Does that sound like she wants to COUNT EVERY VOTE?

It sounds to me like "Count every vote that was cast for ME"

Can we give the nomination to a person (Clinton) because of a popular vote lead that would only exist if we disregard the 600,000 people who voted in four states? Not to mention the 300,000 people who voted "uncommitted" in Michigan who don't get a voice in the election.

fred3 (seriously quit stealing my name)   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

OSAMA CANT STEAL THIS ELECTION!!!! SHE WON MICHIGAN BY 100% OF THE VOTE!!!! UNCOMMITTED VOTES DONT COUNT LOOSERS!!!!

white middle aged woman FOR OBAMA   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

LOL ! The headline reads :Clinton supporters, (plural) tell her: "It's an honor, Madame President". Then I read the article and found she's in a diner and it was one woman who "shrieked, it's an honor ….". too bad she just doesn't have enough supporters to get her the nomination. i guess her supporters will certainly start to shriek after June 3. Bye, bye.

Jane   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

It's amazing how Obama supporters can take a simple, innocuous news story about Sen. Clinton and find hate-filled remarks to send to this "Comments" column. What kind of people does this man attract so many of?

Kenneth M   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

SHE HAS A RIGHT TO STAY IN BUT HER TIME COULD BE BETTER SPENT HELPING OBAMA POUNCE ON MCCAIN. THIS IS WHY I THINK SHE IS BEING SELFISH. IF THE TABLES WERE REVERSED PEOPLE WOULD BE SAYING OBAMA SHOULD GET OUT SO THERE IS NO DOUBLE STANDARD.

Renee   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Clinton take the fight to the convention and then run independent

Anonymous   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Just a warning to all Dems:

I can already hear Hillary's NEW argument when Obama hits the magic number.

"Super Delegates have the right to change their minds. I know, several have gone from backing me to my opponent. Therefore, it is my right as woman living in the US of A to take this thing to the convention. During that time I will lobby all SD's to vote for the woman with the lead in popular vote and can win in the swing states".

And, if she cannot convince those SDs, she MAY even run as an Independent.

Say hello to President McCain. Thanks Hill for caring so much about your party.

Senator Obama, if you do get the nod, like you should, and you pick Hillary Clinton as your VP, I will be forced to vote for someone else. I DO NOT WANT A PERSON WHO LIES SO EASILY IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Look where that has gotten us today.

Let alone, with her RFK comments, I wouldn't put anything past her to get to that ultimate position!

Rob   May 30th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Not likely……….unless President of the Senate ( VP) position. That will never happen after the last three weeks. GO OBAMA

RJ, CA   May 30th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Obama has done NOTHING!
Axelrod has done it all! Every opinion Obama expresses is orchestrated by Axelrod — that's why you'll rarely see Obama say anything substantive off-the-cuff . The "Obama Phenomenon" is a carefully crafted public relations event — and it started long go.

DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT – IT'S NOT HARD TO COME BY:

Example: For four years Axelrod had camera crews tracking virtually everything Obama has done in public — chatting up World War II vets in southern IL, visiting his father’s ancestral village in Kenya — and often camera crews outnumbered the civilians. He found a grainy, C-Span-style shot of Obama talking about homelessness on the floor of the IL state Senate, which he quickly used to establish Obama’s prior political experience.

Before that, Axelrod was mostly visible in Chicago the last decade as Mayor Daley’s public relations strategist — the guy who goes on TV to defend Daley from charges of corruption.

Axelrod also operates a second business, ASK Public Strategies. This company discreetly plots strategy and advertising campaigns for corporate clients to shift public opinion their way. He and his partners consider virtually everything about ASK to be “top secret.”

So when a vote for Obama is nothing more than for Axelrod, his "brain." Good Luck!

Let's see you print this!

KJ   May 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Rock on Hillary! Stay in this race through the DNC convention in late August where you can and must prevail. The delegates are not really "pledged" to anyone, each one can vote for whomever they wish. The job of the delegates is to nominate the most electable candidate for the general election. That candidate is and shall remain Hillary Rodham Clinton!

The Dems would be foolish to nominate an unqualified and unelectable Obama. Pelosi and Reid should stay out of it. The media will not decide this election, the people will! Hillary will have the popular vote! Count ALL the votes. The Dems cannot be in the business of dissenfranchising voters in Michigan and Florida.

The Pfleger scandal is horrific. He should be defrocked. Why are the people in Trinity church cheering on Pleger's racist diatribe?

People are you listening   May 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Can someone tell me how did Obama become the frontrunner? He had to run against the CLINTONS. It is three of them campaigning non stop. The had more money, more prestige, more experience, more influence and more prower.

Now fast forward Obama is winning in almost every measure, has out raised them in money and has run the best campaign our nation has ever seen. While she in 20m in debt and seen as desperate.

I read an article about how he studied the democratice nomination process and took advantage of the system. If he uses the same analytical and meticilous planning as president he is going to do well.

I know there are many that hate his guts, mainly because of his supporters, but if you look at what he has accomplished you will find it to be quite remarkable.

Rudy NYC   May 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

I feel the only reason HRC has stayed in the primary race to the end is because of her frequent promises to voters that she would stay in till the end. Breaking that promise would be politically fatal error. She had to stay in. Just like Ron Paul stayed in the GOP race.

Has anyone noticed that Obama jumped out to a roughly 150 elected delegate lead after Feb 5, and that lead has remained fairly constant ever since?

Has anyone noticed that everyone talks about Obama—and sometimes the other candidates—as being in error for removing their names from the Michigan ballot, when the fact of the matter is that they all signed—including HRC—to remove their names?

Has anyone noticed that the real disenfranchised voters in FL and MI are not the ones that went to the polls, but the ones who stayed home?

HRC in fact broke the rules, and a strong argument could be made that her "votes" in Michigan are invalid.

I would think her campaign bus needs to turn in the direction of New York and take her and Bill home where she can hone in on Senate issues and let the Presidential campaign proceed in the right direction – without her! It's all over next week – Hillary needs to do the honorable thing and concede. That will be a speech worth listening to!

Hillary has lost the nomination unless the DNC hands it to her illegally by giving her unearned delegates from Florida and Michigan.

Kathy   May 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. Go back and check the record…Obama released his platform weeks after Clinton released her Solutions For America agenda. His were extremely similar to hers. The Clinton campaign reacted to the release of the Obama platform by saying…”at least his is not that different than ours” So I ask you, what does this man stand for when he copies what it convenient to his campaign? For shame!

Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement both for himself and his supporters — your/his time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought or experience as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. A country cannot have economic security and growth without first securing national security. And anyone who does not believe this is living in dream world…period! The simple and relevant truth is…….. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time

McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him.—he is not Bush… He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.

For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.

And to all those, Obama supporters, who have previously responded to my comment, or wish to now I say this…you are being fooled by the joker himself-Obama. Study up on your American history….this man will put up a pretty decent fight, however in the end, he will join the ranks of Kerry and other far-left liberals….bitter and clinging to his religion wondering why he came so far only to have the door slam shut on him.

Honor is correct. The more you see of obama supporters their actions, their lies, their thugery and swiftboating, you wonder what type of person they ARE supporting.

He has shown his underhandedness in every thing he does starting with the 2 million dollar scam of the so called autobio…lies from start to finish. And this is the PERSON they support.

While they lie and swiftboat a real candidate who would make this country proud…oh did I forget to tell you …the scam artist obama's wife she's not proud of this country …what the heck is she doing in it.

I just wish he would go away…far far away on a spaceride for centuries.

Florida democrat   May 30th, 2008 10:31 am ET

I am a huge Obama supporter but I think he is making a BIG mistake not campaigning for the upcoming primaries. He needs to at least show these states he cares about them. If I were undecided in the last two states, I would certain vote for Hillary and I would remember Obama's performance when I decide my vote in November.

November is a long time away. He is not going to win votes now that will not change their minds at least a few times before November.

Obama, finish the great job you started!!!! Campaign till the end of the primaries for the primaries. Don't get ahead of yourself. If FL and MI are seated as voted and Hillary gets the popular vote, the delegate gap will be short and the super delegates do not have a commitment to vote with the delegate leader (Obama). I can easily see how Hillary will turn this around.

Scott C   May 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

The thing is, in January there was still a chance, that if things went a certain way she could pull it out and WIN.

Now, there is NO way for her to win.

Obama has so many delegates that even if Michigan and Florida are seated in FULL and Clinton wins every remaining contest by 100% she still can't beat him.

She DOESN'T have the popular vote lead.

She DOES if you count Michigan and Florida and don't count the 400,000 who voted uncommitted and don't count the nearly 600,000 people who voted Obama in the caucus states.

That is EXACTLY what she is doing. She is cherry picking what to count. GIve NOTHING to Obama in Michigan or 4 big caucus states.

If we are going to "COUNT EVERY VOTE" then Clinton is NOT in the lead.

If we "disenfranchise" millions of voters, then Clinton does have the lead.

What should we do Clintonites?

Count the votes, or NOT count the votes?

Brad   May 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Please, give me a break. The election is not about the future of our country or even about the Democratic party. It is about the stupidity and egos Bill and Hillary.

Watch and smile as we put another republican dunce into the White House, and smile joyfully as we realize that the end of two-party politics is well within sight.

Cathy in MD   May 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

I forget. What real experience does this woman have? Do you think she might just settle for her face up on Mt. Rushmore? You know, as a symbolic gesture?

Hilda   May 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

j- I so agree with you, this is so pathetic already, We are tired of hearing it. I also want to ask where is the TAX HOLIDAY she and John McCain were promising. All of a sudden it is over, they said it would start on memorial day???Now it is no longer being discussed? I want my GAS TAX HOLIDAY!!!!!

Montana is Obama Country   May 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

A campaign spokesman replied "there are a lot of places to go to between June 3 and November.".. YEAH.. and one place comes to mind of several people…. and it's pretty darn warm down there too..

Generation X   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

If you notice, Hillary does not have any room for Generation X. LMAO

Jeff   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

Pelosi and others are pushing for Obama for their own reasons – they would be able to control Obama and enhance their own standing in the party – how transparent can you get. Especially Pelosi who would like to remain the top woman in power.

When the race is over and the votes are counted the nominee will be obvious.

Obama 'inspires' – Hillary delivers.

NoMcSame   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

No way it will happen. Obama is the future.

Eyes   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

And the Clinton News Network (CNN) relentlessly continues its work trying to get Hillary elected.

Will from Gaithersburg   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

Clinton supporters should be told they are delusional and losing their bearings.

Charlotte   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

I pray for devine intervention, and low and behold another mentor spreads racial hatered. I hope his whole campaign emplodes. Obama, how can you know people so many years and have no idea where they stand on issues? What a liar, I'll take sniper fire anyday over these kind of lies. This church seems to bring out the worst in people, this guy is a priest who knows what they like to hear at the United Trinity Bapitist Church????

Obama supporter   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

THIS IS JUST LIKE WATCHING COMEDY. KEEP IT UP HILLARY SUPPORTERS. EVEN IF SHE IS A BIG LIAR AT LEAST YOU STILL LOVE HER.

White Independent   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

All white, mostly middle-aged female crowd. To bad they aren't the majority or she would be able to win.

donna4hillary   May 30th, 2008 10:29 am ET

the ONLY thing obama has been able to do for this race is bring out the racism that has existed forever but has been kept under wraps. uniter? i dont think so. why isnt anyone calling for him to drop out since he doesnt have enough votes to clinch the nomination either?

Anne   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Yet more BS from the Clinton supporters and the delusional one herself (Clinton).

JT   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

We have a democracy. She is not winning the vote. She is not winning the delegates. She is not winning the states.

She is a good woman, yes.. but her campaign has failed. Obama outmatched her. This is not about sex. It is about who the people want.

Respect our democracy and support the winner when he or she is decided.

Anonymous   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Whatever they are smoking in South Dakota, I'd like some.

Anna   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

after all this, I not only hate Clinton but also democratic party. this is so sick, why dont these delegates/super delegates step in and do something.

Timothy   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Bye.

Fredi   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Hillary's behavior is inexcusable – she is creating expectations in her followers that she cannot deliver on – at least not without breaking all the rules and stealing the nomination. Why would anyone want such a reckless egomaniac in the White House?

Never Obama!   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

It's an Honour Madame President!!

SLIMSISTA   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

VERY NICE, BUT THERE WILL BE NO "MADAMME PRESIDENT" IT WILL BE MR. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!

OBAM 08 & 12

Kelly in Tx for Obama   May 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

And Obama picks up two more Super Del's…so what is the point? She will NOT be the president.

PCB   May 30th, 2008 10:27 am ET

"Clinton sat with a group of all female campaign volunteers."

This seems pretty sexist.

George   May 30th, 2008 10:27 am ET

dont worry guys. She has more than $20 million debt and she is bargaining. she knows her race ends very soon. but she wants Obama or DNC take care of this debt. that's what she wants.

An American in Canada for David   May 30th, 2008 10:27 am ET

As the saying goes, Obama may win the battle (nomination), but he

will definitely lose the war (presidency).

And so say 20 millions Clinton supporters!!!

Hillary's Mockery Schmokery   May 30th, 2008 10:26 am ET

……Well that is closest Hillary will ever get to hearing those words….

….Person was probably a "plant" in the audience by Terry r Wolfson….

SANAA   May 30th, 2008 10:26 am ET

IF THEY TAKE THIS FROM OBAMA, HILLARY WILL NOT WIN IN NOV…………….YOU CAN NOT AND WILL NOT WIN WITH OUT THE BLACK OR YOUNG VOTES. SO HANG THAT IDEA UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

Clinton Supporter   May 30th, 2008 10:26 am ET

I'll tell you where she's headed.

She's headed to the White House.

Hillary will prevail. America will prevail.

gary   May 30th, 2008 10:26 am ET

The DNC, media etc. Has fixed this race for Obama.America will be sorry they ever hated on the Clintons, and was bias against HRC for president. Its a fact she is a better canidate with more qualifications,track record and shown through many yrs. she has been there for us.Obama couldn't make it to New Orleans after he got their votes.He is so filled with excuses and a slick speech. HRC didn't hesitate even though the African American's turned their back on her.HRC is our only hope.If she looses this country will fall. Read the Bible for you believers,or read Mostradumus The Code World War 111. It will tell all . America deserves what they get. They dont want to listen to the warnings and really change whats going to happen. You will get your CHANGE,but it isn't going to be pretty. Look at the change O.B. has brought so far, hate, racist and division. You havn't seen anything yet.

Enlightened Voter   May 30th, 2008 10:26 am ET

How truly lovely. But I have a question – how can a person who cannot manage their own campaign, and is millions in debt supposed to manage this country? and do all those things she promises, cause she does promise the moon to every state she's in and they all fall for it. How pathetic.

Kyle   May 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Did she have another drink in her hand?

pam Eugene OR   May 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

We all know Hillary does not want it do be over but that does not change the fact that is . Sorry Hill…you lost and you need to face facts!

marylee wagerman atlanta,ga   May 30th, 2008 10:24 am ET

HILLARY PAY YOUR BILLS

FLORIDA Voter for Barack Obama   May 30th, 2008 10:24 am ET

j   May 30th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Why not just crown her queen and get it over with? I almost wish she would win, then I can go back to voting Independent.

Ryan   May 30th, 2008 10:23 am ET
